[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 1707274, member: 11668"]Wow, great find! Ever since the first one was found, I've been waiting for more to turn up.

Okay, who's going to be the next to discover one of these? :cool: If "plate position" is actually what you meant to say, then you're looking at something completely unrelated, I'm afraid. :( A serial number is overprinted from a register that can have letters (or stars) inserted upside down by mistake.
